[Fascinate General] Accused187:
I've had issues as well. Mine are related to GPS wakelock. Every fresh boot I will consistently get a partial wakelock of 100% because of the GPS. Simply opening Maps and closing it will force the wakelock to release.

I'm curious as to why others aren't having this issue, yet some of us are?

I've tried the EB01 modem as well as the DL09 modem and its the same results. Aside from this, battery life is great...
[Fascinate General] sohead:
When you say 'idle' do you mean like zero apps running (like stopping everything running via a task killer). Then what,, like keep the phone's screen lit up by not letting it sleep and monitor the battery drain over a period of time? I'll have to try that and see how mine does. I'm guessing mine will prolly drop 15-20% as well if I have the screen lit for a solid hour.. hmm

I didnt really think mine was working 'bad' though, I just figured thats about what these batteries in these could do. I can make it though a day without a re-charge but I admit I have to budget my usage of the phone thoughout the day.. not using it for long solid periods of time and such.. If 15-20% an hour drain would be considered 'bad', how much should it drop in an hour to be considered working 'well' in your opinions?
[Fascinate General] phoenix727:
Well I spent all day charging, using and then recharging my phone. it died in about 5:45 hrs of med to heavy use. I used the method outlined in this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=987529

I lost 5% battery in 45 min this morning which would have been nice but it was idle in my pocket. :-(

I gave up... reflashed 2.92nv and im checking to make sure its not having same issue.

If anyone has more suggestions there are now 2 pages i found for this problem specific to the facinate.
[Fascinate General] hecantbreathe:
My battery is pretty decent after clearing battstats. Heavy use I'll lose about 13% per hour. Idle is decent, 3-5% per hour.

[Fascinate General] sohead:
Ok I did a little test with mine - I set my LCD screen timeout setting to 10 minutes, turned my wifi and gps off (left the cell radio on), killed all apps that were running in task manager. Then I sat the phone down on my desk with the screen lit up and tapped the screen every 8-9 minutes or so just to keep it from going to sleep for one solid hour. I didnt do anything else with or use the phone in any way during this time. My battery dropped 18% in one hour. Think I'll try the batt stat clear procedure and redo the same test and see if its any different.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Mine is horrible. For some reason, it drains in proportion to my use. If I use it constantly, and hardly put it down, I'm lucky to only get 6 hours out of it.

I don't get decent life unless I put it in airplane mode, turn off rotation, and don't use it. Then I'm good for

16 - 18 hours.

WTF¿
[Fascinate General] phoenix727:
I can understand getting 6 to 8 hours if your a heavy user. but Im only concerned with my idle battery use. Juicedefender help some what. you can get it on the marketplace.

I'm still having the same issue with the nonvoodoo version. I'm still not sure how some users are getting over 40 hours of battery life.

as far as I can tell recalibrating my battery had no effect on the battery life. I plan on trying to recalibrate 1 more time in case I messed up the process. I will post my results in a day or 2. good luck to the rest of you. if you find anything out that may help me or anyone else please post it here

After resetting my battery stats, and doing about three days worth of normal use the problem seemed to resolve itslef. I noticed the same behavior when changing the rom on my tab.
[Fascinate General] slvrevoix:
Well I had to go back to dj05 because the drain was so bad. battery life is awesome now and I couldn't be happier.
[Fascinate General] ducati966:
I have not had the greatest battery life either. I just wonder if it would be less of a problem if there was not a number to focus on all day long. Just saying. . . .
[Fascinate General] MattRussNC:
Flashed 2.9.2 yesterday on a full battery, and ran the battery wipe script after complete also at full battery. Its now over 26 hours later with fairly high use (titanium restoring and general setting everything back up form full wipe). After 26 hours i am still at 7% battery. Have been trying to run it down so i can recharge it thus completing one round of battery conditioning but it looks like it not necessary for me at least.

oh btw that 26 hours is with bt, wifi, and gps (when weather updates atleast) and one to two bars of radio.
[Fascinate General] charleshenrysmith@comcast:
I've had the same issues
[Fascinate General] heffzilla:
After installing a new rom, i drain battery then charge fully with phone off and reset batt stats, don't know if it actually does anything but I can't complain about my battery life
[Fascinate General] ezas:
Wiping bstats simply calibrates the battery gauge to battery use. It does not increase battery life. If it is not calibrated it might appear that you have less charge than you actually have. That's how calibrating can appear to increase battery life.

It's good to do so you have an accurate measure of battery use/life. But it is no magic potion to increase battery life. It's important too understand that calibrating is not the same as conditioning. Li-lion batteries can not be conditioned.
[Fascinate General] putney1477:
Haha I hear ya with the number, I feel like every time I use my phone, my eyes lock on the battery number before I even do anything!
[Fascinate General] phoenix727:
thanks for this. I never thought to bring down in the op. after a few days of regular use the problem seems to have resolved itself. my suggestion is to follow the calibration tips outlined in earlier posts and then continue to use and charge your phone as you usually would. this seems to be an issue with a number of people so please post your results.

[Fascinate General] neo4uo:
I have did everything as stated, I just hope after a few days it will get back to normal, but feel some how it won't. The only reason I am saying that is when I reverted back to DJ05, had no problems what so ever. As soon as I flashed DJ05 I noticed a big difference in battery consumption. I love my roms and kernels currently, just wish there was a solid solution for the battery drain.
[Fascinate General] Musicmaster:
Flashed 2.9.2 last night (first ROM ever) and I have 30% left 14 hours later with moderate usage (one hour talking on the phone, 20 minutes worth of texting, 45 minutes of games).

I don't think its any worse than my iPhone 3Gs
[Fascinate General] dco717:
Unplugged at 1030 pm @ 100% and @ 1122pm I'm at 81%
[Fascinate General] chewbacky:
I was having the battery drain issues as all of you, so I started & wiped everything-then started over. I reinstalled 2.9.2 with vanilla froyo & my wiped battery stayed charged for 36 hrs with moderate use. I have recharged it again & after sitting overnite, I still have 100%. Thanks Adryn for making this all possible. :cool:
[Fascinate General] neo4uo:
Hey what radio were you using out of curiosity?
[Fascinate General] Shakes The AssClown:
I want to wipe my battery stats with bstat in terminal emulator. The only thing is, is that when I charge my phone when the phone is off...i get 100%...but as soon as I turn on the phone to do the battery wipe it drops to 97% and will not go above that when the charger is on it. Should I wipe the stats anyway even at 97%?
[Fascinate General] Scrappy1:
Hey guys, couple comments from my experience. To address the idle / screen off battery consumption on froyo roms, I've found doing all these things help: 1) enter then exit airplane mode at least once per boot. 2) enter then exit google maps at least once per boot. 3) disable google latitude.

The latitude idle consumption is complicated. Any of these prevent it: latitude disable, wifi enabled and connected to AP, wifi disabled, google location services disabled.

When using all workarounds, my idle consumption is down to about 1-2 % per hour. Without them it can be 6-10% per hour. I too haven't seen wiping battery stats make much difference. Seems the full and empty voltage levels are fairly fixed on Li-on batterys, so wiping bstats can't help there... maybe only adjust the gauge if it needs to be nonlinear.

hi, this is my first post....

i have spent the last few days searching this site with no luck, so here goes...

i have a motorola defy android 2.1(stock rom)

it was running great (rooted and overclocked at 1200) until i downloaded a freezing program (freezes orig phone apps, telstra ect)

anyhow i turned off my phone and then when i turned it back on i had no home screen??? (so couldnt access my apps,settings,msgs,calls, nothing)

i could slide the unlock across but after that it was just black with the status bar at the top....

i have done a hard reset (hold volume down and turn on, then wipe data/factory reset)

now my stupid motoblur acc will not let me log in, or create a new account (i have been successful loging into the motoblur website, just not on my phone), it loads almost to the end of the progress bar, then just sits there and does nothing at all, i even left it over night!!!

i have installed these files, in the hope of flashing a new rom (2.3 or 2.3 would be sweet)

Motodrivers131

RSD Lite 4.9

i installed rsd first, and could see my phone (in download mode) but every time i tried to flash a .sbf file i got the message "Failed flashing process. Unable to retrieve initialization values from INI file. (0x7029); phone connected" so i installed Motodrivers131, and now my phone wont even show up in rsd???

im in melbourne, victoria, australia 3133...

im going insane here, any help would be very appreciated...

[Defy General] antony.ps:
Uninstall everything, reboot the pc, install Motorola Drivers, install rsd, remove the battery, press and hold VOL UP and put the battery again. Open RSD and try to see your phone now. If it fails, try to press the power button (continue holding VOL UP).

If everything fails, maybe you are out of battery, and the only thing to do is mcgyver trick (see wiki).
[Defy General] jamesterpstra:
ok, i have managed to get into google while in the motoblur sign in thingy, and rooted my phone and used clockwork to flash an update from my sd card :)

2 problems tho, first one is that im in australia and ive flashed t-mobile 2.2 (usa)

and the second is that everytime i put an sd card into the phone it begins to mount the sd card, then instantly says "sd card is safe to remove" i have tried formatting it on the phone but it says to remove it before i get a chance..... (i have tried 2 diff cards) and have wiped them on my computer!

this is rather annoying as i cant flash it with blueginger like i wanted to, or use a fair few apps or the camera without the sd card present????

any thoughts?
[Defy General] Beach_Head:

[Nook Color General] rochford77:
ok so im getting the nook this afternoon (if ups comes through) and ive been thinking one big compromise i made over the galaxy tab was 3g. I would love to use this in places other than the ones with wifi. I have an HTC heroC and the wireless card does not support being a wireless hotspot, so i am forced to use apps like barnacle wifi teather but the speeds are horrible. Now that we have BT working on the nook (thx devs!) could i use PDA net's "Bluetooth teather" option to tie my nook to my phones 3g?
[Nook Color General] timmyjoe42:
The bluetooth isn't working on the nook. (the hacked roms have it barely working)

The only thing you can do is connect it thru wifi. I've got a Motorola Cliq and can turn my phone into a wifi hot spot that my nook can access.
[Nook Color General] RileyGrant:
A

Actually this is completely incorrect. CM7 roms have it working relatively well. I cann get about 6 feet of distance with it now so if your holding your nook and your phones in your pocket I dont see why it wouldn't work.
[Nook Color General] pmilford:
HI,

Sounds like some people have a non-user friendly method of getting Bluetooth

I'm still on CM7 19 and bluetooth is working well! However, I have not gotten BT tethering working at all (haven't tried much, bcuz wifi works well for me). Wondering why you get such bad speeds via WiFi tether? I have an OG Droid and I get good speeds.

I suggest trying out Wifi tether first and see how it works.
[Nook Color General] babyqtangel:
I'm hoping someone can answer my related question here about my phone.

I currently have the Samsung Moment, and no matter what ROM I use for my NC, I can't get it to see my tethered connection in the Available Networks.

My NC can see my friend's tethered connection on his HTC Touch Pro 2, and Nexus One, so I have a feeling it's got something to do with my phone.

Anyone with experience with the Samsung Moment--do you have any input as to a ROM that might make this work?

Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color General] xwint3rxmut3x:
Most of the NC ROMS do not support Ad-hoc wifi networks right off the bat. If you're not sure if you have an ad-hoc network or not, try and tether your phone to your computer and you should be able to tell on there.

You can try copying both the int sd card and the Ext sd card on to Your computer (make a folder) then try using recovery tools in the computer or download one from here or some other freeware site

Chances are not usually good but it depends how much he modified the phone since he deleted these files.

Hi everyone,

I have a problem: I think I've ruined my 16GB Micro SD card.

I've tried to partition it using MiniTool Partition Wizard, into fat32 + ext3. Somehow, now Windows only sees 11.38GB on the card.

I've repeatedly formatted it to no avail. I've tried deleting all partitions using MiniTool, but it just keeps getting smaller! What am I doing wrong? How can I start again....I just want those 4 or 4 GB back!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doulnut:
Hi there. If I am not mistaken, Windows cannot recognized the ext partition. This is why you will only see the fat32 size. I suggest you to use Gparted live cd to repartition again your SD card

Yep, use Gparted and use a card reader or the phone in recovery. In recovery don't forget to mount all the partitions.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derliebewolf:
Hi guys,

I'm thinking of buying a Samsung Omnia 7 right now as there are really cheap in Germany. But I am unsure about a few things which keeps me from buying for now, maybe you can help me? I am currently using a SE Xperia X1 (HTC Kovsky).

First off: NoDo. It's there already or will be there soon. Are any Registry tweaks possible after NoDo is up and running? I don't mind it beeing complicated, is it just possible?

Second: ChevronWP7. It's going to fade away after NoDo, no surprise. Has anyone heard of similar applications in development? Most important feature I guess is sideloading applications on WP7, are there other solutions?

I heard something of USB tethering on the Omnia7. Is that true? Are there any restritcions? Is this still working after NoDo?

What about HTC apps? Obviously the won't install after NoDo, but which of them used to work on a "unlocked" device?

Is there any way of recognizing the device as USB-storage?

Thats it for now. Any help is appreciated :) Thanks already!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
I don't think there is a chevron-like device for after NoDo devices yet, so if not then the answer to your other questions is "no" but I don't know 100%.

I do know there is no way to mount your device as USB storage, only Zune can recognize the phone, the only exception is if you own an HD2.

You don't own a WP7 device yet, but your major preoccupation seems to be unlocking it or tearing it apart. I used to apply every tweak to my phone in previous Windows Mobile.. I'm a tinkerer. With WP7 I have NO desire to go rooting and editing registry and all that. The homebrew just doesn't appeal to me. I wouldn't make this your primary hangup over buying the phone.

The answer to most of your questions is 'No'. My comment on that is 'so what?'
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
I think the dude above me makes a good point.

If you like to mod, theme, tether, or change anything about your phone then WP7 is not for you.

for day to day use, it's probably the best out of all the current smartphone OS'. However, for more advanced things, it's not there yet.

Thanks for you'r response, guys!

One more question about registry edits: I found the registry edior by Julien Schapman and I read somewhere else that registry edits can be done by deploying a provxml. are there other solutions? Juliens tool obviously won't work after NoDo as it has to be sideloaded...

i own the omnia 7 for about 3 weeks and there were a few moments when i wanted to go back to my nokia 5800, but on the other hand when i saw its incredibly laggy UI, powered by a 330mhz CPU i realized how awesome the omnia with win7 actually is.

ofcourse there are only about 15% setting options compared to the 5800 one's, but eventually one doesnt need the most of them in the daily routine anyway.

so for my needs the omnia 7 is pretty optimal, though i'm missing proper backlight settings, pause-function with the camcorder and some other little things, but i guess not too far in the future there will be a major update.

till then i'm satisfied with whats there..

as right now the NoDo is pushed in batches to individual devices, its not like last time you can go to HTC website and download a ROM and wala...

my pre update update was exactly 10 days late and i dont expect any thing less from NoDo as well...
